Well I just have a moment.

Yesterday was spent with Ruth. We had a great time. She chats incessantly and is so sweet. She first made herself some maize porridge. (I found a supplier for maize meal) The kids love it especially when I do the traditional maize dishes ("pap").

After breakfast we created 2 compilations of her favourite songs and went for Tea and lunch at a local lake, Grafham Water. It was fun and I think she is a very capable 9 year old.

Today is cold and bright. Our first frost.

I look forward to getting on after tomorrow as I hate being at a loose-end.
